BEACON and Leo AI Launch India’s First AI Copilot for Mechanical Design—Redefining Engineering Workflows in Bengaluru, Pune, and Mumbai!

In a groundbreaking step for India’s engineering design landscape, BEACON, a premier engineering solutions provider and SOLIDWORKS partner, has teamed up with Leo AI to unveil the world’s first AI-powered mechanical design copilot. This next-generation tool, developed specifically for engineers, was showcased during a series of high-impact launch events across Bengaluru (July 8), Pune (July 9), and Mumbai (July 11)—drawing enthusiastic participation from CXOs, product designers, and mechanical engineers across India.

Leo AI stands apart from traditional AI platforms with its Large Mechanical Model (LMM)—a proprietary AI trained on over a million industry-specific documents including ISO standards, technical manuals, and engineering handbooks. Unlike generic AI tools, Leo AI delivers real-time, context-aware assistance directly within CAD environments like SOLIDWORKS, dramatically streamlining the product development process.

Key features include:

• Seamless SOLIDWORKS Integration for context-sensitive suggestions and smart automation.
• Text-to-3D Conversion, transforming sketches or descriptions into accurate 3D models and datasheets.
• Up to 70% Reduction in early-stage design time through automation of repetitive tasks.
• Error Prevention via real-time rule-based checks during the design phase.
• Enterprise-Ready Security, including on-premise deployment options for IP-sensitive organizations.

The three-city launch tour—part of BEACON’s CXO Innovation Forum—featured keynote sessions by Mr. Sean Manzanares, Head of Global Sales at Leo AI, and Mr. Arumuga Nainar Ramaswamy, CEO of BEACON. Live demos showcased how Leo AI is transforming the way mechanical engineers design, collaborate, and innovate.

“Leo AI is not just a tool—it’s a game-changing copilot redefining the future of mechanical design,” said Sean Manzanares.
“The overwhelming response from the Indian engineering community shows that the industry is ready for intelligent, AI-driven workflows,” added Arumuga Nainar Ramaswamy.

Already trusted by over 50,000 engineers worldwide at organizations like Bosch, Intel, MIT, and Toyota, Leo AI has generated over 100,000 AI-driven design concepts to date. Now, through its exclusive collaboration with BEACON, this transformative platform is accessible to India’s growing base of MSMEs, OEMs, and startups.

The successful launch of Leo AI marks a paradigm shift in India’s engineering capabilities, accelerating design innovation, shortening time to market, and elevating the competitiveness of Indian manufacturers on the global stage.
